Jennifer Aniston had an iconic reaction when finding out how old the Sprouse twins are now.

The 55-year-old Friends actress couldn't hold back her feelings when being interviewed last year.

During a junket for the Netflix film Murder Mystery 2, which she starred in alongside Adam Sandler, Aniston found herself taking a trip down memory lane.

The twins' breakout in Hollywood

Aniston's on-again-off-again Friends love interest, Ross Geller (played by David Schwimmer), had a baby boy called Ben in the first season of the show, who was played during seasons six-eight by both identical twins Cole and Dylan Sprouse. They started the role when they were just seven-years-old.

Prior to 2017, all of the twins' appearances in film were shared between the pair, or they both featured as different characters, with the exception of Piggy Banks and Snow Buddies.

Sandler also worked with the Sprouses back in 1999 in Big Daddy, their first feature film.

Like in Friends, the twins were just seven-years-old when they starred in the comedy as Julian 'Frankenstien' McGrath.

The realities of working on the set of Friends

Years after working alongside Aniston, Cole admitted that he had a huge crush on her during his time on the Friends set.

He shared on The Drew Barrymore Show: "I was teased a little bit by the crew, because they saw it.

"I would just forget, and be looking at her. But then, the whole world had a crush on Jennifer Aniston."

Aniston realises the twins' ages

Access interviewed the Murder Mystery 2 co-stars, Aniston and Sandler, and rocked their worlds when they spilled the tea on the twins' ages.

Sandler and Aniston learned that the twins are past the age of 30, and shouted "What?" in unison.

Aniston couldn't conceal her shock, adding: "No, no they're not!"

The actors had been in their thirties themselves when they first met and worked with the Sprouse twins.

57-year-old Sandler even joked that he’d primed the duo for Friends-level fame, saying: “I knew what they were capable of!"

He continued: "I set the table for the kids to hop on Friends. That was one thing that Jen said when I first met her. 'Will you please break in the children for us?'"

As the pair continued waxing lyrical about the passage of time, Aniston confronted the fact that Cole had a crush on her back when he was on the Friends set.

“But he was so little!" she exclaimed.

As for where the not-so-little twins are now...

Well, Cole's last public relationship was with his Riverdale co-star, Lili Reinhart, and starred in horror Lisa Frankenstein, which was released this year.

Dylan on the other hand has been married to Victoria's Secret angel Barbara Palvin since 2023 and stars in the recently released romcom, Beautiful Wedding.
